I am not even sure that vancouver's system is high capacity. I don't see why you bother to look at the english world only. Look at the whole world in general. Most call the thing a metro. And that is how I will call it. I chose to do so on purpose. Chicago calls its system the L train...

Why support building in newmarket and such farflug places? Toronto should get that growth. Put a urban growth boundary on them, to castrate their growth. The sprawl should be reeled in, for it is too costly to do so. An urban growth boundary will force development to be in already built up...

Sheppard does fine, with its only five er so stops. Why not get more out of that? Are you aware of how limited a system is if all its lines go to the downtown? That is a problem. There should be other alternatives for rapid transit. Not everyone wants to go downtown. Toronto's system should not...

If I were god I would prohibit growth of newmarket and just let it decline. That growth should be further south. Why sprawl north from aurora? They could go back down to aurora. Or even better, they could put that growth back to toronto. Their growth is the region's loss. Just let it be mostly...

Does anyone have an electoral map of the last election?

The Transit City plan wholeheartedly shuns the expansion of Toronto's Metro. That is a problem. They can find some 20 billion for new things, but none of that was planned to be Metro. That is a problem in my opinion, and a hatred towards subways. What is also mind boggling to me is how there...

Hm, I thought there were more than one set of such towers on the south side, along the highway. But it seems that the robert taylor ones went from 39th to 54th street- according to wiki... that is quite extensive. I was around 60th street this summer. Was driving around with a friend. We saw...

Doesn't GO cost a lot more? I mean suppose you're a poor college/uni student. Would you pay the extra few dollars a day per each trip to, and then again back? I know I wouldn't. Heck, I'd even wait for the slow bus to transfer to the subway from it.

I do not understand where this aggressive hatred of subways comes from. I just don't.

The worst part of the sheppard tram idea is the way that it will connect to the metro. To go into the ground?! Man, it's designed on purpose like that because that automatically makes it like infinity times more unlikely to ever see a subway extension there under such a scenario. If one...

Some months ago when I looked at official propaganda, they admitted that the sheppard LRT is only about 5 km an hour faster than the bus. It was going at I think about 20. The Subway option is much better - at 30 ish. Nobody is insane enough to want to build a subway all the way to...

Many reject the LRT as being rapid transit. The Sheppard LRT is just barely faster than a bus. We need something much faster, like a Subway as it was planned. Not really. Many of us anti-trammmmmsit city folk despise it and think it's stupid. You are not very much opposed to it. That does...

Oh I have been to other meetings. Let me explain how the CTA works, in Chicago. The CTA (their TTC) had meetings right before any planning whatsoever was done. For example, they had a few extension ideas for what can be done. And what did they do? Before they even started to develop their plans...

Yeah, Miller's authoritarian practices do deserve these things. End the authoritarian insanity. Public participation, not public informing!

Er, I meant one stop beyond victoria park. To VP is the absolute minimum. I just figure that that is where the street starts to curve northwards... there is probably some north-south transferring... I dunno, thought maybe it might look good if it was one more big street to the east of that...

Weed, how feasible is it to take the subway one more stop eastwards?

Bloc Party. Simply because there are many who treat the elections as a one issue kind of thing. Liberal and whatnot - OMG GODLESS FAG !!! is what goes through the mind of some conservative idiots. Hence some people do not even bother to look at economic policy whatsoever. They are...

If they can cancel the building of Eglinton West, then they can cancel these small stupid projects too. God bless them, and hope they do so.

Marginal increase? The increase is several fold in capacity. Giving a tram to those neighborhoods is neglecting them. There is only one underground section, not sections. Some parts that are above ground are too damn slow to be acceptable. That's just how it is. Too damn slow. If you...

Man said he wants subways. Miller said he wants trams. Simple as that.
